Comparison and Enrollment assistance throughout the Fall
Open Enrollment Period—October 15th through December

prescription drug coverage for 2013.
A SHIP certified counselor will provide unbiased, easy-
to-understand information to help you compare Medicare Part D plans and
assist you in selecting or changing your drug coverage for 2013. Each year
Medicare Part D plans change their premiums and what they cover, so it is
encouraged to review your coverage each year. Remember, this is the only
time of year that Part D changes can be made.
Reservations are required, so call and schedule your appointment now To
schedule your appointment or for more information, contact Kristi Tischer with

Need Relief on Your Prescription Drug Costs?
You May Qualify for Medicare "Extra Help"!
Medicare beneficiaries with limited income and resources may qualify
for "Extra Help" to pay for Medicare Part D prescription drug costs. If you
qualify, it can help reduce your drug costs, including monthly premiums,
annual deductibles, and prescription copayments. Many people qualify and
don't even know it.
To qualify for Extra Help, income must be less than $16,755 a year (or
$22,695 for married couples). Your resources must also be limited to
$13,070 (or $26,120 for married couples). Your home, the land it stands
on, your cars, burial plots, or personal possessions do not count toward the
resource limit.
COEDD Area Agency on Aging can help you apply for this benefit. It's
easy and free to apply and can be completed over the phone with a COEDD
staff person.
